Some MUPIP commands require information contained in the Global Directory. Therefore, a process must have access to a valid Global Directory before using any MUPIP commands other than JOURNAL, RESTORE, and the -FILE options of all applicable commands.

The environment variable gtmgbldir specifies the active Global Directory. Define gtmgbldir at the shell. Individual users can define gtmgbldir in their shell or session startup file or other shell scripts.

        
        $ gtmgbldir=prod.gld
        $ export gtmgbldir
        
        

For more information on the Global Directory, refer to the "Global Directory Editor" chapter.
